Sky Curtain: My Happy Daily Life Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 22 Stop! My son cannot eat pork!

The music started again, and the carousel began to turn once more.

Little Sizi hummed an off-key tune along with the music, gently patting the rocking horse's neck as if she were really riding a gentle little colt.

The sunlight shone on her little face, as if it were gilded, and even the surrounding air became sweet.

Outside the canopy, Li Shimin looked at the little girl's smiling face and couldn't help but sigh to Empress Zhangsun:

"Look at Sizi! He was afraid of the hand dryer just now, but now he's riding the rocking horse like a little adult! I want to go play with him!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Indeed, many adults are riding that wooden horse. But the horse is so radiant and doesn't look like wood at all! Sizi is so happy today, all thanks to young Master Lin."

Li Tai, holding a cup of plum tea, looked at the little girl on the carousel and scoffed, "What's so fun about this carousel? If it were me, I'd definitely ride a real horse!"

Princess Chang Le gently tapped him: "You! You're just saying it's sour grapes because you can't have it! Didn't you see how much fun Si Zi was having?"

After this round, the little guy finally had his fill.

"Alright, Sizi, let's go home!" Lu Chen carried the little guy out.

Little Sizi nestled in her brother's arms, her little finger unconsciously in her mouth, but her eyes had already drifted to the direction from which cheerful music was coming from not far away.

"Hey, there's a sound over there! Is it dancing?" She tugged at Lu Chen's sleeve and pointed to the small stage in the center of the children's playground.

Lu Chen looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a group of staff members dressed in cartoon costumes leading children in games. The music was lively and the crowd was bustling.

"Okay, let's go take a look while we're at it." Lu Chen decided to bring Xiao Sizi along to join in the fun.

The two, one big and one small, walked hand in hand toward the stage.

It turns out that an interactive game called "Guess Who I Am" was being played on stage.

Amidst cheerful music, the host, wearing an animal headgear, made the children laugh heartily.

Little Sizi tiptoed forward, so Lu Chen picked her up so she could see more clearly.

"That's a little tiger!" Little Sizi exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the tiger head mask. "It's even pink!"

The host happened to walk to the edge of the stage and saw Xiao Sizi's bright eyes, so he smiled and invited, "Would this cute little girl like to come up and play with us? There are prizes!"

"Brother, are we going?" Little Sizi looked up at Lu Chen, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay. Take it slow." Lu Chen gently pushed the little guy in front of him.

The little ox stepped out with cheerful little steps, its body trembling slightly.

The host took her little hand and led her onto the stage, putting a white bunny ear headband on her head.

The music started again, and Xiao Sizi danced with the other children, clumsily but earnestly imitating the movements.

At the same time, the little guy looked down at the audience, searching for his older brother's gaze. After receiving a thumbs-up from his brother, the little guy smiled sweetly, his smile as bright as a little sunflower.

At the end of the game, each participating child received a shiny star sticker.

Little Si carefully stuck the sticker on Lu Chen's hand: "Give it to my buddy! Isn't that a great deal!"

"Thank you, Sizi, you're amazing!" Lu Chen ruffled her hair, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

"Alright, Little Sizi, we should go home now. Let's catch the little train." Lu Chen said with some regret. The scenic area would have looked even better at night, especially the Ferris wheel, which would have a colorful halo. But they came out in the morning, so they couldn't stay too long.

I'll just have to come later next time.

"Brother, let's go! Let's go ride the little train!" Little Sizi took off running.

"No rush, no rush," Lu Chen quickly grabbed the little guy, "The toy train won't run away!"

The Qing Dynasty.

Looking at the sky, Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but sigh, "I even called myself the 'Perfect Old Man,' and proclaimed the 'Qianlong Era of Prosperity.' Compared to modern times, this was truly a golden age! Adults were wealthy, children were happy, it was like living in paradise!"

Datang.

Empress Zhangsun said with delight, "Second Prince, look how happy our little Sizi is."

"Yes, she is a hundred times happier than if she were with us," Li Shimin had to admit.

Great Qin.

Looking at his magnificent palace complex, Ying Zheng sighed, "This little princess is happier than my children!"

"Hey! Nera the little train!" Little Sizi was standing on tiptoe, peering out.

"Sizi, which color car should we choose?" Lu Chen asked Sizi.

"Purple!"

"Okay!" Lu Chen, holding the little princess, chose a suitable seat.

Toot toot toot! The little train is starting.

The light purple interior is equally charming, a favorite among little princesses!

Little Sizi looked around happily, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides.

"Hey! We've found the bamboo forest again!" Little Si exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's beautiful. I'll bring you here again next time," Lu Chen comforted the little one.

"Okay~~" Little Sizi felt reassured and at ease. She could come again in a few days!

Soon, the little train arrived at the station.

The brother and sister then transferred to the subway, thankfully it was only three stops.

Otherwise, the little guy would really fall asleep while being rocked.

"We're home, little Sizi, let's get off!" Lu Chen, carrying the baby keychain, strode out of the carriage.

Lu Chen felt quite refreshed that day; it had been a long time since he had gone out for a day of fun.

As soon as they exited the subway station, they ran into an old man selling fruit. The old man always sold things very reasonably, with good quality and low prices. Lu Chen bought a box of strawberries and a box of watermelon, which they could eat as soon as they got home, and they would also be a good way to cheer up Xiao Sizi.

A hundred meters ahead is a long street of snacks. Lu Chen didn't want to cook when he got home, so he brought the little guy here for dinner.

This is also a place Lu Chen has frequented for four years.

He ate everything from beginning to end.

Everything was so delicious...

There are still significant differences in diet between the North and the South.

However, some of his dishes are from his hometown, such as "Oden", "grilled gluten", "grilled cold noodles"... "Lanzhou ramen" can also be considered, because there is also Lanzhou ramen in his hometown.

What impressed Lu Chen the most was that the snacks here all had the same set of side dishes, many of them: pickled cowpeas, pickled radishes, fried peanuts, stir-fried tofu... These were things he didn't have in his hometown, and he really liked them.

Today, Lu Chen wanted Xiao Sizi to try these side dishes as well.

"Sizi, how about we have porridge today?"

"it is good."

Lu Chen ordered two bowls of seafood porridge and several other braised dishes that he paid for.

"Sizi, do you want some chicken feet?" Lu Chen asked, pointing to the spicy and sour chicken feet.

"seven!"

"And this one? This is beef."

"seven!"

"This is pigskin."

"OK!"

We ordered several dishes, and the restaurant cut them up and mixed them with seasonings.

Beyond the sky.

Li Shimin was no longer calm.

Oh no! No! My little prince can't eat pork!

"How can this be! Lu Chen! Stop! My son cannot eat pork!" Li Shimin stood up abruptly and shouted loudly.
